Abstract
The -ray strength function and the nuclear level density of have been extracted using the Oslo method from a experiment carried out at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. The level density displays a shape that is compatible with the constant temperature model in the quasicontinuum, while the strength function shows structures indicating the presence of both a scissors resonance and a pygmy dipole resonance. Using our present results as well as data from a previous experiment, the and eellian-averaged cross section (MACS) uncertainties have been constrained. The possible influence of the low-lying, long-lived 6 keV isomer in the process is investigated in the context of a asymptotic giant branch star. We show that the newly obtained MACS affects the final abundance, while the MACS only impacts the enrichment of to a limited degree due to the relatively rapid decay of the thermalized at typical -process temperatures.
